About Passages Ventura

Passages Ventura is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic in Port Hueneme, California. The facility offers several programs including detox, residential treatment, outpatient treatment and sober living homes. They accept most major types of insurance including TRICARE and Kaiser Permanente.

They have a medication assisted detox program where nurses and doctors will monitor you around the clock. They’ll bring you your meals if you don’t want to leave your room. They also offer massages to help with sore muscles. Therapists are also available to talk to during detox.

The residential treatment program offers 25 hours of individual therapy a month. They have luxurious rooms and a beautiful outdoor setting. While an inpatient, you’ll learn about the staff’s philosophy of the four causes of addiction. These are a chemical imbalance, events in your past you haven’t yet reconciled, current conditions you’re unable to cope with and things that you believe that aren’t really true.

The staff will help you figure out what caused your substance use so you can tackle it head-on with lots of individual therapy. They do not use the 12-step model of recovery. Once you’ve finished the inpatient program, you can move to the partial hospitalization program (PHP) where you’ll get six to seven hours of treatment five days per week.

There’s also an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that meets three to five days per week for three to four hours each day. The IOP focuses on reintegrating you back into your daily life, structured around sobriety and recovery. You’ll work on creating a supportive, healthy community. You may even work on career goals.

All the programs offer individual therapy, group therapy, and medical care from licensed doctors and registered nurses. There’s also yoga, acupressure, and massage. You can get personal training, participate in hypnotherapy, and have spiritual counseling.

This facility has accreditations from The Joint Commission, CARF, and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM).

This is copy of an email I sent them after taking someone there: Hi XX, you are really good at your job! Passages Ventura looks nothing like the fantasy you tried to sell me. You said to me it looked like a Hilton. Even the cheapest of Hiltons looks like a Four Seasons compared to that place. It s more like a psych ward combined with a Motel 6 and it smelled like it, too. The bedroom you kindly reduced to $5,000, looked like a closet with a window, nothing remotely like the pictures on the website.The staff is under qualified to even welcome people into the facility. My xxx wasn t to meet with the doctor for a few days (why? I wondered) and in the meantime we were told they would be given benzos! (why? They are already addicted to enough stuff).They also explained that during detox they would had to walk to the nurses station to alert them if they needed something. That s is so unrealistic, especially if you re being paid to look after someone during a very trying process. You knew they were ready to go to treatment and you made us waste a whole day going all the way to Ventura under false pretenses. You guys should be sued for deceptive advertising and ineptitude. Hope one day you realize there are better ways to earn your money than to take advantage of people in need. Thank you for spending so much time with us, so sorry we didn t make you a penny.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Passages Ventura works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. Passages Malibu offers a variety of customized alcohol detox options, and they will adjust the patient's detox program accordingly depending on the severity of the case.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. In order to heal the damaged interpersonal relationships often caused by addiction, Passages Malibu offers Marriage & Family Therapy as one of the traditional treatment methods. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

This is copy of an email I sent them after taking someone there: Hi XX, you are really good at your job! Passages Ventura looks nothing like the fantasy you tried to sell me. You said to me it looked like a Hilton. Even the cheapest of Hiltons looks like a Four Seasons compared to that place. It s more like a psych ward combined with a Motel 6 and it smelled like it, too. The bedroom you kindly reduced to $5,000, looked like a closet with a window, nothing remotely like the pictures on the website.The staff is under qualified to even welcome people into the facility. My xxx wasn t to meet with the doctor for a few days (why? I wondered) and in the meantime we were told they would be given benzos! (why? They are already addicted to enough stuff).They also explained that during detox they would had to walk to the nurses station to alert them if they needed something. That s is so unrealistic, especially if you re being paid to look after someone during a very trying process. You knew they were ready to go to treatment and you made us waste a whole day going all the way to Ventura under false pretenses. You guys should be sued for deceptive advertising and ineptitude. Hope one day you realize there are better ways to earn your money than to take advantage of people in need. Thank you for spending so much time with us, so sorry we didn t make you a penny.

The assistant director at Passages Ventura refused to call me by my pronouns and insisted that I was not transgender. It has taken me years of therapy to try and resolve the whiplash this crude and unprofessional statement has caused. This person was not specialized in gender health, who is she to tell me I am not the gender I identify with. Especially after legitimately respectable institutions have supported my gender identity and shutter when I tell them about my experience at Passages Ventura.

They left me in detox room alone vomiting all over with no help. Had me come in for intake and I drove for 2 and a half hours to get there, they turned me away when I arrived. I slept in the front of the locked gate for hours. I used all my money getting there. They didn't once check on me. They told me I couldn't intake until the next morning. Next am they had the manager come and stop the intake because I was having a panic attack and they wouldn't admit me. I was going to ask for a refund for the traveling expenses. Trashy place and liars. Un educated nurses and teenage staff. Food is pretty good thoughI appreciate your response to my concerns. It's good to hear that you are going to train your staff with higher education about the detox process. I was there to get help, not to be turned away at night especially since I had an appointment at the time that I had arrived. If your staff and nurses don't have any compassion, you can't exactly have an educated class to make them have common human nature to be respectful to patients. I will NOT contact your facility asking for reimbursement for travel and board expenses. If you feel that would be a desirable outcome for us, I would appreciate it. Costs for rides were over $300.00, hotel was $80. You have my address and number if you feel so kind as to try to meet the expectation I had originally had for passages. I really do hope you retrain your staff so it doesn't happen again.

D treated me like a meat bag. If you don't pay to play your just garbage to them. Just got off a call with a women who calls herself D sketchy enough not having an actual name. Tells me it's a $35000 for sober living. My father and I just spoke with her last night that she was to check if I could be integrated into the houses if I don't want the meals they supply for $500+ extra never called us back after promising to in a couple hours. Called passages this morning asking for "D" she didn't even remember me nor ever got the information we asked for. This is a body broker pay high amount to play facility
